Located in the green heart of Abruzzi, Valle Reale, marks the geographical border among the Gran Sasso National Park, the Laga Mountains and the Majella National Park. It is the most authentic and representative expression of the highland of Central Italy where the warm climate of this latitude is associated to severe winters and high mountains always covered with snow.
The Valle Reale project starts from a very old vineyard, precious genetic heredity of the nature, adapted during the years to an extreme pedo-climatic situation. We are in the area of origin of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo that begins in the Abruzzi inland and finds in these areas the ideal conditions to express its peculiarities. In cooperation with the agronomic faculty of the University of Milan guided from Prof. Valenti, the Pizzolo family begins selecting clones which are more suitable for the Valle Reale environment and therefore more suitable for obtaining a great wine that expresses the varietal and the land. We planted 54 hectares of vines divided between Popoli and Capestrano, dedicated mostly to Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Close to the old vines, jealously guarded by a specialized agronomic staff, we developed 46 hectares spurred cordon intentionally planned to induce the wine-producing innovation with the tradition of the territory.
